Summary
Fifteen confirmed measles cases and six probable cases have been reported in Iowa and Lafayette counties, up sharply from two cases earlier in the week.
Wisconsin health officials urged southwest residents to update vaccinations and closely watch for symptoms as the outbreak grows.
The cluster is centered in two southwest Wisconsin counties and marks a significant acceleration in local spread over just a few days.
The renewed vaccination push underscores concern that measles can spread quickly when immunity gaps widen in affected communities.
